In the test section it says: "Los profesores ___ con los padres de los alumnos"

I thought that should be 'charlaron' because it is an action in the past which has been completed but the system says it is 'charlaban'. 

Please explain?

In the quiz question 

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿ quieres ver _____ ?  

The answer was the singular alguna, and I only knew this from the hint. It seems like the person who was offering to share the photos was being stingy only allowing 1 or 2 photos to share. Would it be wrong if I had a stack of 20 photos to say, Quieres ver algunas? It seems to be a more generous approach to allow another person to see more than just a select 1 or 2 photos. 

In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things,  in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?

I suggest another song suitable for practicing: Me gustas tu by Manu chao.

In the last line, why " vive a Madrid" not " vive en Madrid"?

It is not clear when to use qué after mismo. For e.g.

Andrea lleva la misma camisa que llevaba ayer.

Vs.

No me cuentes de nuevo la misma historia.

Regarding complex grammatical explanations: flowcharts and decision trees would be incredibly helpful adjuncts to the explanations given. The human brain responds more easily to visual representations of complex logic than it does to textual explanations. That is why they are so prominently used in science and mathematics. Just sayin'
